I once ordered an item from North Carolina. I live in NJ. UPS sent it to Kentucky, then to France, and then to Germany and then finally to my house. And when the UPS guy showed up to deliver it he wanted me to pay $90 in added shipping charges. It was a major headache getting them to drop the additional charges so I could get my item.1996: Randall's Island 2 1998: East Rutherford | MSG 1 & 2 2000: Cincinnati | Columbus | Jones Beach 1, 2, & 3 | Boston 1 | Camden 1 & 2 2003: Philadelphia | Uniondale | MSG 1 & 2 | Holmdel 2005: Atlantic City 1 2006: Camden 1 | East Rutherford 1 & 2 2008: Camden 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 (#25) | Newark (EV) 2009: Philadelphia 1, 2 & 4 2010: Newark | MSG 1 & 2 2011: Toronto 1 2013: Wrigley Field | Brooklyn 2 | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore 2015: Central Park 2016: Philadelphia 1 & 2 | MSG 1 & 2 | Fenway Park 2 | MSG (TOTD) 2017: Brooklyn (RnR HOF) 2020: MSG | Asbury Park 2021: Asbury Park 2022: MSG | Camden | Nashville 2024: MSG 1 & 2 (#50) | Philadelphia 1 & 2 | Baltimore 2025: Raleigh0

“The delays appear to largely stem from a new system the Postal Service began rolling out last fall that will eventually funnel all the nation’s letters and packages through a consolidated network of 60 regional distribution centers — similar to the airlines’ hub-and-spoke model.”
https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2024-election/major-mail-delivery-delays-raise-concerns-voting-2024-elections-rcna146479Postmaster DeJoy is also a moron, so there’s that too.
Ordered the Ames Boston poster from Ames on 10/03--a shipping order was placed on that day in Seattle. Today (11/01) it pinged on the USPS system---in Atlanta, Georgia.
Anyone wanna guess where the final destination for this poster tube is?
If you picked Sacramento, CA you're a winner.
Seattle to Sacramento-605 miles
Seattle to Atlanta + Atlanta to Sacramento - 4279 miles
poster showed up on my doorstep the same day Ames Bros. sent the replacement. We were both happy they actually found it though.
So, at least it’s moving, but the mileage that it’s gone is astounding!
